Biden revoked support for the actions of Saudi Arabia in Yemen and revealed the hypocrisy of the UK government:

Biden revoked support for the actions of Saudi Arabia in Yemen. President Biden has taken decisive steps to end his predecessor’s isolationist policy. The United States rejoined the Paris Agreement reversed the World Health Organization and terminated travel bans from Muslim-majority countries. These decisions are a rejection of America First divisive politics and an acknowledgement through interaction with the world. US national interests are better advanced. We lead, said Biden, not by the example of our authority but by the power of our example.

The announcement this week is the United States would end all American support for the offensive activities of Saudi Arabia in Yemen. This is a part of Biden’s determination to restore the “moral leadership” of the United States. The government of the United Kingdom increasingly exposed not only because it fails to display comparable moral leadership. But because of its profoundly hypocritical approach to Yemen.

The United Kingdom is the “penholder” of the UN Security Council on Yemen.  It has the authority to draft resolutions to support attempts to end the war. Therefore, the UK has a special obligation to do all it can to promote the peace process at the same time, since the war started in March 2015. The government has approved the selling at least £ 5.3 billion worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia, as well as offering training and technical support. 

The Prime Minister further isolated from the US Administration:

The decision by President Biden casts an unwelcome spotlight on the UK government. It is a position that leaves the United Kingdom increasingly isolated on the world stage. Countries such as Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands already restricting weapons exports to Saudi Arabia.

Hence, the government of the United Kingdom now faces a choice to join Biden and live up to its responsibilities as a UN penholder by ending the participation of the United Kingdom in the Saudi campaign. With each passing day, the UK is more separated from the international community’s attempts to achieve peace in Yemen. The Prime Minister further isolated from the US administration with which he is desperate to forge relations. It is in the interests of Britain that he changes direction.
